the CAPalert thread

...In another scene, Gary experiences an episode of vomiting clearly exaggerated for effect after drinking himself into a stupor. I momentarily thought the exaggerated vomiting scene was put there for the "benefit" of the CAP Ministry since 1) we have apparently built a name for ourselves in Hollywood, at least that is what we are told, 2) several email attacks of our analysis of South Park: BLU flamed us for including vomiting in the listing of findings and 3) since the CAP Ministry is an enemy of many South Park: BLU lovers and apparently of Stone and Parker, the exaggerated vomiting scene made me wonder whether this second excessively exaggerated scene was just to express recognition of the CAP service. By the viciousness and vulgarity of the email attacks, I would almost believe this to be true ... Nah! Not a chance. Why would a megabuck pair of Hollywood cinematic whiz kids take notice of a church mouse poor grassroots ministry? That we beat Harvard University to the punch by a full four years in proving the "ratings creep" of the MPAA wouldn't matter now would it?

when you need to find new ways to make a sense of persecution a virtue(and have it reinforce your beliefs), just ask this guy.

I know nothing of any credibility about this film. While waiting for another film to start, I was permitted to set in on Bad Santa and walked out eight minutes after setting down. In those eight minutes I saw and heard nothing more than vulgar tripe which and has no place in the Christmas season or any other season. I can give you no scoring distribution data since none have been calculated -- and won't be. And I am dismayed that filmmakers would stoop to such money-making tactics as making a film of raw vulgarity and debauchery with "Santa" in the title and release it during the Christmas season...

Offense to God (O)

the fact that the guy found things wrong with the latest Winnie the Pooh movies shows how pathological you can get with it.

i love how there's a category devoted to how faggy a movie is.

from Team America. couldn't just say that people were making gay jokes, or insulting homosexuals. oh no. they HAD to reiterate again that being gay is somehting you consciously choose and it's lifestyle to "practice".

from the Screen-IT review of Constantine.

actually, i find it hilarious that all these sites all have the pathological need to count up each instance of an act they find offensive. their mindset seems to be that it matters all the world to show that a flick is more subversive and will corrupt young Rod & Todd if they hear "fuck" used 60 times instead of just 20.

FRIGHTENING SCENES
-A three-legged dog is left behind on an island as the crew escapes from it (some might worry about it).

they're RIGHT, dammit! i was pissed they didn't go back for the dog. you never leave a dog behind, dammit.

the full commentary isn't there, but they thoughtfully added the proper Biblical verses.

as examples of Wanton Violence:

"another severed head, repeatedly, sometimes talking"

"surviving impossible gunfire injuries that would result in death, repeatedly"

"semiautomatic pistol slide rack impaled into forehead"

as "Sexual Immorality"

"making out"

"thong nudity, repeatedly"

"homosexual reference"

...you get the idea.

From Mulholland Drive:

"Impudence/Hate (I)(1):
one use of the most foul of the foul words
seven uses of the three/four letter word vocabulary"

What does this mean?!

they should use this line on the posters: Every other "shalt not" in the Bible was likely violated in this film.

Typically an R-rated films requires two or three log sheets to record all the issues of assault on morality and decency. Sin City required 7 1/2 log sheets.

The Findings/Scoring section of these reports, the heart of the CAP Analysis Model, is completely objective to God's Word and is independent of and insulated from modern morality and ethics. The Findings/Scoring section is even independent of and insulated from my own opinions. However, this Summary/Commentary section, which is precisely that ... a summary in commentary format, is independent of the Findings/Scoring section. This Summary/Commentary section may therefore be and sometimes is somewhat subjective.

So, subjectively speaking, though Sin City is a technological masterpiece with high wattage thespians, it is deeply dark, vulgar, sinister and ugly cinematic cyanide. Maybe that is what it is supposed to be. If so, the writers and filmmakers were successful, so successful it is a wonder there were enough acceptable seconds of film to build a preview. That is my subjective opinion of the film, but maybe after nearly 1000 film analyses my "subjective comments" may not be that subjective?

oh! so as long as it's completely objective to God's Word and the guy somehow has the superhuman power to not let ANY "modern" viewpoint color any of his findings, it's all good, right? Good thing the Lord never proscribed against including Spoilers in one's reviews, huh?

and, of course, since this is all based on an objective and apparently literal reading of one of the versions of the Bible, then the guy shouldn't need to interpret anything, or add bracketed comments, huh?
